§. 98. Of Gods Word to be Preached.
The subject matter to be preached is here styled the Word of God. Though that which is uttered by men as Ministers be properly the sound of a mans voice, yet that which true Ministers of God in exercising their ministerial Function preach, is the Word of God. Thus it is said of the Apostles, They spake the Word of God, Act. 4. 31. and hereupon it is said of the people of Antioch, that almost the whole City came together to hear the Word of God, Acts 13. 44.

That which Ministers do or ought to preach is styled the Word of God in a fourfold respect.
